CCP Games’ MMOFPS Dust 514 enters open beta for PS3

CCP Games’ PS3-exclusive massively multiplayer shooter Dust 514 has entered open beta. A recent update has merged the universes of Dust 514 and Eve Online so that players from each will experience the games as a whole, with PC players battling in orbit around the planets that PS3 gamers are fighting to control. As an example of the faction dynamics and interplay involved, the header imagine and initial screenshots show an orbital strike called in from a Dust 514 player and the resulting bombardment courtesy of an Eve Online player.

All who participate in the beta will have their characters roll over into the final release as no more resets are planned. According to the press release, all skill upgrades, weapons, dropsuit selections, vehicle mods, and contracts will be carried over.
